Review quotes

"When the Smithsonian does an exhibition on hot sauces in America, let’s hope the curator is Jennifer Trainer Thompson. She’s the author, traveler, chef, shiitake-farmer and hot sauce creator who set it all in motion….she brought popularity and polish to an otherwise obscure hobby practiced by culinary eccentrics across the country.” Chile Pepper

“We’re having a heat wave, and the weather has nothing to do with it. It’s because Jennifer Thompson wants to take us ‘mouth surfing’ through the world of hot sauces.” Minneapolis Star Tribune
